ENGAGEMENT · Worry-free
We look after the cloud. Your team, the business.
A multidisciplinary team takes care of monitoring and best practices for your cloud on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, month after month. Your technology team focuses on what moves your company.
How it works
The same cycle, every monthWe watch
We monitor your environment with alerts that mean something, each with an owner and a runbook. We also follow each provider's health notices.
We review
We check your cloud against the Well-Architected frameworks and each platform's recommendations, and turn the findings into one prioritized list.
We improve
We fix the highest risks first, with small, reversible changes, and automate what repeats.
We report
A review with your team: what happened, what we fixed, what risks remain and what comes next. Then the cycle starts again.
What we look after
The areas AWS, Azure and Google Cloud shareOperations
Alerts tuned against a baseline, incidents traced to the root cause, and runbooks that improve with every event.
CloudWatch · Azure Monitor · Cloud MonitoringSecurity
Posture checked against each provider's baselines, patching in agreed windows, and least-privilege access.
Security Hub · Defender for Cloud · Security Command CenterReliability
Backups tested by restoring them, recovery plans that get practiced, and service limits watched before they block growth.
AWS Backup · Azure Backup · Cloud MonitoringCost
Where the spend goes, what's idle and which commitments make sense. Anomaly alerts flag spikes before the bill does.
Cost Explorer · Cost Management · FinOps hubPerformance
Resources sized on real usage data, and what's new on each platform checked for what it could improve or make cheaper.
Compute Optimizer · Azure Advisor · Active AssistThe three providers' best practices
AWS, Microsoft and Google publish how to run a cloud well. We work from those frameworks, and from the recommendations each platform generates for your own environment.
AWS Well-Architected Framework
Six pillars, from operational excellence to sustainability. We put it to work with AWS Trusted Advisor checks.
Azure Well-Architected Framework
Five pillars, and Azure Advisor scores your subscriptions against each one.
Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework
Six pillars, with Active Assist recommendations on cost, security, performance and reliability.

Questions
Do we lose control of our accounts?
No. The accounts and subscriptions stay yours. Access is delegated with the scope you set, and you can revoke it whenever you want.
Do you touch our application code?
No, unless we agree to it. Support covers the cloud infrastructure layer; your applications stay with your team.
Which best practices do you follow?
The AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Well-Architected frameworks: operations, security, reliability, cost and performance. Day to day, we work from each platform's recommendations.
Does this replace our IT team?
No. It takes recurring operational work off your team, like monitoring, patching, backups and cost and security reviews, so they can focus on the business.
What exactly is included?
We define it with you for your environment, with no fixed packages or tiers. It's written into your proposal.
